The Ab Nab Awen park area is one of my favorite spots in town.  The backdrop of the river, the Amway Grand, and the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum is stunning!  Every year the museum has a  holiday display of trees and twinkling lights, and there is even a  sing-along and refreshments.  It’s the sort of big city, small town event only Grand Rapids can pull off.  This year it’s Thursday, November 17 at 7:00 PM.
